Chapter Forty-Six: The Fish That Slipped Through the Net
"When the time comes, take a few minutes off and blow away the fog. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Xiaoyu looked at the timer again and ordered Vino. Vino breathed a sigh of relief, stopped the spell in his mouth, and wiped the sweat from his forehead. As the spell stopped, the mist that floated out of the beaker disappeared with it, and without the continuation of the magic, the originally dense mist began to dissipate at a speed visible to the naked eye. If it weren't for the sake of safety, Xiaoyu had the patience to let the fog dissipate on its own. However, she didn't dare to hold up this form of fog, for fear that she would be embarrassed if she accidentally hit it.
Vino sat down on the stone and gasped for breath, took out the bottle, threw two magic pills into his mouth, and chewed them. QQ bouncing pills, sweet and sour blueberry flavor, he likes the taste. The magic recovers very quickly, and Xiaoyu's high-end goods are not covered. He stood up and raised the staff in his hand and began to chant the incantation, blue light radiating from the blue crystal ball at the top of the staff, and then the three people present felt the flow of air around them.
"The wind is blowing. Xiaoyu stretched out and stretched a big lazy waist. In fact, she was still very apprehensive in her heart, in the past, they used to smear the potion on the bamboo dart and then shoot the monster with a bow and arrow. Medicinal potion to make a mist, this is really the first time that a big girl has been on a sedan chair. It wasn't until the mist enveloped and engulfed the entire fortress that no one in the fortress reacted, and she gradually relaxed.
"Whew-" The wind whistled in the light of the staff, as if it was about to sweep everything in front of it. Xiao Yu watched the wind pass by the Black Stone Fortress, not only swept away the fog, but also took away the straw roof of the lookout and some miscellaneous things in the yard, Xiao Yu was sure to see someone's big pants.
The wind came and went fast. After the wind passed, it was quiet in all directions, and the three of them did not speak. After a moment of silence, Xiaoyu spoke up. "It should be OK, I'll go first. Alin, you escort Vino over slowly, don't go in the door and wait for my signal. After Xiaoyu finished speaking, she pulled out a big sword from the space bracelet, a silver big sword that was taller and heavier than her.
Alin nodded to indicate that he understood, but his pupils contracted slightly. The necklace contains the kitchen utensils and ingredients for camping in the wilderness, the potion in the ring, and the weapon in the bracelet? How big is her space? Maybe I'll need to ask her a little after that to satisfy my curiosity. In the midst of a thousand turns of thought, Xiaoyu was already carrying the big sword and bouncing lightly on the tip of his feet. If there are people on the earth, they basically recognize this kind of body method as light gong. Unfortunately, it was Arin and Vino who were present, and they were just surprised by this strange way of moving forward.
In the blink of an eye, Xiaoyu jumped into the stone wall and disappeared, Alin walked cautiously in front with his short sword in both hands, and Vino added an ice shield technique and a light wind technique to himself, making it easier for him to run. When I was about to walk to the courtyard gate, the atmosphere was already tense to the extreme.
"Huh-" The door slammed open from the inside, and both sides were startled when they looked at each other.
"Drinkโ" Alin shouted, raising his knife and stabbing him.
"Wow-" The other party also exclaimed, and the big sword was slashed.
"Stop! it's all my ownโ" Vino quickly unleashed an ice wall spell, and the thick wall of ice blocked between the two, freezing the tips of their weapons in the ice.
"What the hell! Arin, I was scared to death. The person inside the ice wall was Xiaoyu, and I saw her patting her chest in shock, and her big sword was nailed to the ice wall.
"Why don't you open the door without saying a word! You don't know that people are scary and scared to death!" Arin wiped his face, reached out and drew his short sword, which could not be pulled out at all. "Little Vino, what about this ice wall?! "He doesn't have a good temperament, and he doesn't worry about it one by one.
"Oops, leave the ice wall alone, jump in and hurry up. It's all down, hurry up and tie everyone up first. Xiaoyu glanced at the ice wall, and it would not melt for a while. Alin couldn't help it, so he pulled Vino to the nearby wall and jumped in. The three of them lit up all kinds of lighting tools in the yard, and began to search all the houses busily, and when they saw people, they tied them up and dragged them to the yard to put them, and soon the yard was full of sleeping robbers tied up with flowers. Because it's bedtime, basically the robbers are not dressed properly. Xiaoyu also tried to pluck a leg hair on someone's leg, but the person still didn't respond.
"Vino, you're sensing if there's anything else that's slipping through the net. Xiaoyu said a word to him, and then continued to study the dead men with great interest. Ah Lin looked at her plucking one leg hair and pulling one leg hair, and suddenly felt a faint pain in his calf.
"Sister Xiaoyu, make sure that all lifeforms except for demonic beasts are here. Vino magically searched around to make sure nothing had slipped. Xiaoyu nodded and threw a bamboo pipe to him. Vino habitually casts a levitation spell on the bamboo pipe, and then uses a small fireball to shoot the bamboo pipe into the sky.
"Bang-" Huge magic flares burst across the sky, illuminating almost miles in a radius.
Less than a kilometer away from the Blackstone Fortress, the cavalry who were hurrying to the ground looked up at the sky, but their captain ordered to move forward at full speed at once.
"Alright, the person who notified it should be over as soon as possible. Let's go see if the ice wall has melted and the weapon hasn't been brought back yet!" Xiaoyu clapped his hands, and it wasn't fun to react at all if he didn't play.
"Remember to wash your hands with ice. The corners of his mouth twitched, feeling a little disgusting. Vino pretended not to know what they were talking about and walked briskly towards the ice wall.
A few minutes later, a group of cavalry stationed in Blackstone came to the gate of Blackstone Fortress and saw two children and an older child squatting on the stone wall and napping.
"Huha-here, you can count the number of people, right, we have completed the task, remember to ventilate to the Mercenary Guild, we will go tomorrow to get points and rewards!"
The captain of the cavalry looked at the unmelted ice wall at the entrance of the courtyard, and motioned for the cavalry to climb over the wall and go in to count the robbers, while he himself rode to the wall. The long sword was raised on his chest and he gave a cavalry salute to the three of them, and the cavalry captain slowly spoke. "First of all, I would like to thank the three of you very much for completing this mission, and I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all the soldiers and civilians of Blackstone Town on behalf of the three of them. โ
"You're welcome, that's what we should do. Alin pushed Vino and Xiaoyu, it's really a kid who doesn't care about anything else after he finishes his work, just sleeps.
"I don't understand why the three of us didn't contact us early to join hands to defeat the enemy, but the three of them went alone, just sent someone to inform us to answer later. The cavalry captain's words were very meaningful.
"Because it's very troublesome because there are so many people!" Xiaoyu rubbed her eyes and answered. "Originally, we were just going to come to see the situation, and if the situation was complicated, we would sneak in first and wait for you to come. But when we arrived, we found that the situation was much easier than we thought, so we did it first! Besides, I don't really trust some of you in the team. Xiaoyu paused and smiled meaningfully. "It's not that no mercenary group has teamed up with you to do this mission, but every time you get run away by the robbers, don't you really think there's anything wrong?"
"Your Excellency means ......," the knight captain frowned.
"Of course, someone leaked the news, so the robbers knew your actions in advance and took refuge. Therefore, we call it unpreparedness. Xiaoyu touched her chin, "If possible, I hope you turn these people in or something else as soon as possible, because the inner ghosts you have mixed in may find a way to rescue them." โ
The cavalry captain was noncommittal, but saluted Xiaoyu again, and then climbed over the wall and entered.
"Xiaoyu, what you said is true?" Arin poked her.
"Who knows?" Xiaoyu smiled, got up and stretched, watching the cavalry in the courtyard busy counting the number of people and searching for the robbers' looting. "Oops!" she suddenly slapped her head and shouted, causing everyone to look at her.
"We were so busy tying up people that we forgot to search for treasure, and we forgot about such a great opportunity...... Failure! Failure! Sure enough, novices will always make mistakes!" Xiaoyu scratched her head, her tone was very regretful, and everyone gave her a big roll of her eyes.
"Report to the captain, we've counted the number of people, and there's one person missing. "The cavalryman in charge of counting the number of people reported to the captain.
"Hey, there really were fish that slipped through the net, but we were sure that no one had left the Blackstone Fortress at that time, could there be any secret passage to escape?!
"Who is not on the list?" asked the cavalry captain.
"It's the second master, the mid-level magician poisonous wolf. The cavalry responded, "The day before yesterday, there was a wire report, saying that the poisonous wolf left the Blackstone Fort alone and went in the direction of the border. โ
"I'll just say that it's hard to fly with wings in such a net, how can you run away, it turns out that you're not at home!" Xiaoyu nodded.
"It's a bit of a problem, mid-level mage, and we're going to have to watch out for his revenge. There wasn't much worry in Arin's tone, just being realistic.
"The soldiers are coming to block the water and cover the earth, let's talk about it when we come! Is it over? We can go back first, right?" Xiaoyu yawned again, so sleepy!
"Let's go together! The three demon riders also ordered someone to bring them, just outside. The captain of the cavalry pointed to the group of mounts outside the door, and when he was notified, they set off. Naturally, he also knew that these people did not bring their mounts out, so they went to the inn and brought their mounts by the way.
"Great, my little white, soft can sleep!" Xiaoyu cheered, her Doge beast, her big fur mat. Jumping off the stone wall with agility, she took the lead in finding her mount. Arin and Vino looked at each other and shook their heads, and then jumped off the wall to find their mounts.
"Captain, these treasures seem to be much less, you see......" The cavalryman in charge of counting the treasures came and whispered.
"It can't be them, they don't look down on such things. The poisonous wolf left suddenly, either running away with the money or taking a sum of money to do something unknown, and went back with his things. "The cavalry captain didn't say it explicitly, and the fact that the little cavalry didn't have knowledge didn't mean he didn't. The girl was so loud that she showed her spatial necklace, rings, earrings, bracelets, and belts, which were worth more than the contents of the robbers' den, and she despised these petty profits.
